Some of the key note speakers at past Gala events include: Fergus Ewing (MSP), Mr Bill Yuile (MD, Apply Altra), Bob Keiller (CEO, Wood Group), Patrick Clarke OBE (Director, UK Power Networks), Jim McColl OBE (Founder, Clyde Blowers Capital) and Deirdre Michie OBE (Chief Executive, Oil & Gas UK).

“The AFBE-UK Scotland Gala was a very inspiring event. I was impressed not only by the calibre of people I met, many of whom held high positions of responsibility; but by the diversity of the team.”Patrick Clarke OBE, Director, UKPN (2014)

The Gala also provides an excellent opportunity to support the work of other local charities in Scotland such as Archway (2014), Befriend a Child  (2016) and the Music Hall Transformation (2018).
